If you are looking to sell your home, your goal is to get the most money possible in the shortest amount of time. One of the best ways to add value and appeal to your home is through home staging. You have a lot of options  for how you want to go about it. You could hire a professional staging company, but that comes with a hefty price tag. Most of the time, a few simple fixes is all it takes to transform a living room.

Today we are going to go through some of our most favorite, inexpensive home staging tips or you. We hope these will help you save both time and money when it comes time to sell your home.

A fresh coat of paint is always a good idea. Neutral, warm colors work best for highlighting the natural light in your home. This will make it easier to punch up the room with some colorful accessories and pull everything together.

A common design problem facing many homeowners is that they have no real entry way, as their front door opens up to the living room. To fix this, you can add a table, some lighting, and a rug to "fake a foyer" and make it feel like the living room and entryway are two different spaces.

A patterned rug, some pillows, or bright curtains add a ton of texture and an eclectic layer to the space, which is essential to a well-designed room.

In some cases, a "make-under" is just what you need. In the case of most fireplaces, taking some accessories and clutter away enhances the look and feel of the room greatly.

You could spend well over a few thousand dollars with a staging company, or you could do these fixes yourself for around $500.  That's a small investment considering the value that you add to your home by adding those pieces.

Advice for Home Buyers in Anchorage

There are many great Anchorage area homes for sale. Click here to perform a full home search, or if you're thinking of selling your home,click here for a FREE Home Price Evaluation so you know what buyers will pay for your home in today's market. You may also call me at (907) 865-6404 for a FREE home buying or selling consultation to answer any of your real estate questions.

Today I'm going to be speaking about the buyer's side of the market here in Anchorage. Hopefully this information will make your home purchase easier and also more efficient.

Across the board inventory is fairly low. We're sitting below three months of inventory right now, so homes are not all that plentiful right now. When you get into $0-$400K range those inventory levels dip even lower.

As a buyer, you will have less to pick from. This means you'll need to be decisive and ready to jump on a home when you find one that you like.

One thing that you should do immediately if you want to buy a home is speak with a local lender. This will help to figure out what you can afford, and this will make your home search much easier. You won't waste time looking at homes that you cannot afford.

Once this is done you can begin looking at homes. However, you need to remember that inventory is low and that you'll need to make decisions quickly. There just aren't a lot of homes around, so the good ones are being bought up quickly.

This is where we can come in and assist you with writing a compelling offer, especially if there are multiple offers on the home. There are many ways to grab the attention of a seller, and we can do that for you.


If you have any questions about this information, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'd be happy to help you!

Today I'd like to update you on the inventory levels here in Anchorage and Eagle River. Overall, inventory is relatively low, and we're under a three month level. This means that we're in a seller's market because there are less homes available.

• Anywhere under $400K there is about a 1-2 month supply of homes, so sellers can reap big benefits if they have a home of this value for sale.
• From $400K to $600K we have more inventory and homes are sitting on the market for a little bit longer. The key to selling these homes is pricing them right and making sure that they are in good condition.
• From $600K to $750K we have about six months of inventory, which means that the market is balanced between buyers and sellers. Buyers will have an easier time buying these homes.
• If your home is worth more than $1 million, we have roughly 23 months of inventory, which means that you're in a buyer's market. 

Overall, the real estate market is very good here for buyers and sellers. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you're looking to buy or sell a home in Anchorage.
